It's generally pretty clear when one is creating a "derivative" work, and of course copyright law covers that.

There have been some enormously successful "derivates" written. One which immediately springs to mind is Jean Rhys' "Wide Sargasso Sea", a "prequel" to Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre". Of course, that was in the public domain, so no copyright issues were involved.
